Privacy Policy

Visitors and free users. You can practice without an account. In that case your session score, free-practice usage count, Word of the Day progress, profile nickname and theme choices, practice statistics, missed words and achievements are stored in your own browser's local storage on your device. We do not receive that information on our servers.

Account holders and members. When you create an account we store the email address, password (stored securely by our authentication provider and never visible to us in readable form) and the username you choose. If you subscribe, we store your membership status, billing cadence, renewal date and the identifiers our payment provider uses to reference your customer and subscription records.

Contact and support. If you use the Contact page, we store the name, email address and message you submit so we can respond, and we send a copy to our support inbox.

Technical information. Like most websites, our hosting and infrastructure providers process standard technical request information (such as IP address and browser type) in order to serve pages and keep the service secure. We may also receive error reports when something in the app breaks.

Your learning data — words practiced, correct and incorrect answers, accuracy, progress by difficulty level, missed words, corrected and mastered words, streaks and achievements — is currently saved in your browser's local storage on the device you practice with. It is not uploaded to a personal learning profile on our servers, which also means it does not automatically transfer between devices or browsers, and clearing your browser storage clears it.

Multiplayer sessions are intentionally kept separate: multiplayer results do not count toward your personal Solo Practice statistics, accuracy, streaks or achievements. Solo Practice is the only mode that updates your long-term progress.

Memberships and subscription payments are processed by Stripe. Card details are entered on Stripe's secure checkout — Epic Spelling Bee does not receive or store your full payment card number. We store only what we need to know whether your membership is active: your subscription status, plan cadence, renewal date and the reference identifiers Stripe provides.

Stripe processes your payment information under its own privacy policy and terms.

We use cookies and browser storage for the app to function — not for advertising. Specifically, they are used to keep you signed in, remember your profile nickname and theme, track free daily practice usage, remember which plan you selected before checkout, and store the practice progress described above.

We do not sell personal information. We share information only with the service providers we need to operate Epic Spelling Bee: our payment processor (Stripe), our authentication, database and email infrastructure provider, and our hosting provider. These providers process information on our behalf so that accounts, memberships, emails and the website itself work.

We may also disclose information where we are required to do so by law, or where it is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, safety and security of our users or our service.

We keep account and membership information for as long as your account exists, and for as long as needed afterward to meet legal, accounting or security obligations. Contact-form messages are kept so we have a record of support conversations.

Practice and progress data stored in your browser stays there until you reset your progress or clear your browser storage. Account deletion is currently handled manually: contact us and we will delete your account information.

We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information associated with Epic Spelling Bee accounts, including encrypted connections, managed authentication and database access rules that restrict account data to the account holder. No method of transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.

Some features rely on trusted third-party providers: Stripe for payments and subscriptions, our authentication and database provider for accounts, an email service for account and support emails, and a hosting provider for the site. These providers only receive the information needed to perform their part of the service.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as Epic Spelling Bee evolves. When we make a material change, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this page occasionally.
